The present invention relates to a shower bath attachment particularlydesigned so that the same may be used in conjunction with an ordinarybathtub.

5 The prime object of the invention resides in the provision of anattachment which may be easily mounted in place or dismounted and whichis adjustable as to height.

A further important object of the invention re- 10 sides in theprovision of a shower bath attachment of this nature which isexceedingly simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, durable,thoroughly eificient and reliable in use and otherwise well adapted tothepurpose for which it is 15 designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrange- 20 ment of parts aswill be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through a bathtub showing myattachment in 5 place.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 ofFigure 1.

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view showing the bracket.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the upper portion of the attachment.

Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5denotes a somewhat Z- 35 shaped bracket arm including arms a and bextending in opposite directions at right angle from an intermediate armc. The terminal of the arm 17 has a hook cl to engage on the one spigotwhile the arm extends over the bridges of the mixer.

o The terminal of the arm a is in the form of a frusto-conical member E.

Two sections 01 piping 6 and I are coupled together as at 8. The section6 is adapted to extend through the frusto-conical member E and held inany suitable adjusted position by a wedge 9, preferably anchored on themember E by a chain It]. A top section comprises a vertical portion Hand I 5 horizontal portions I2, I 4 and I5 forming an incompleterectangle in the same plane with the end closed and the bottoms of thearms l2, l4 and I5 are perforated as indicated at IS in Figure 3. Theplane in which the arms l2, l4 and I5 are located 10 is substantially atright angles to the portion II.

If desired, a set screw 3 may be used in connection with the member E inconjunction with the wedge I for holding the piping formed by members 6,7 and H. The member II is coupled as at I9 with the section I.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this artwithout a more detailed description.

The present embodiment of the invention has been described inconsiderable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since inactual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated asdesirable in the statement of the g5 invention and the abovedescription.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafterclaimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

In an attachment of the class described, a bracket having airusto-conical member, a shower including a pipe extending through theirustoconical member, and a wedge for insertion in said member to holdsaid pipe in different adjusted positions.

PERCY BROWN.
